"Looney Tunes": "One Froggy Evening" Quiz

Answer: a frog

The frog, of course, puts on a top hat, grabs a cane and sings "Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal" as he struts around. The worker, now seeing himself as a rich man in front of a crowded theater, grabs the frog and with collar turned up, sneaks away to fame and fortune. (If he only knew...)
There is no dialogue through the entire cartoon, only the music and nearly continuous singing of the frog.
J. C. Wilber was the financer for Looney Tunes.

Answer: Acme Theatrical Agency

The Frog will perform for one person and one person only- the demolition worker. Otherwise he assumes the attitude of 'a glob of mud' without bones, which is how he acts when the talent agent sees him.
Acme was into everything back then: Construction and Demolition, Theatrical agents, Anvils, Little Red Wagons, Hot air balloons, etc. I suspect their theatrical agency was most interested in finding gullible coyotes (famishus, famishus).

Answer: sings and dances

He realizes the frog won't perform, so he quickly tries his hand at it. Overweight and unkempt, the man is kicked out with his frog... who immediately begins to sing.
The voice of the frog was a singer named Bill Roberts who sang at various nightclubs in the Los Angeles area.

Answer: Hippodrome

He has abandoned his job and now uses up his life savings to get rich and famous. He is very quickly getting in over his head.

Answer: high wire

He sings and does somersaults on the high wire with an umbrella, no small feat even for a human.

Answer: Free Beer!

Still true of people today. But of course as the curtain goes up the frog floats down with his umbrella, and only gives his long slow croak. The audience have apparently had time to come prepared with all types of fruit to bombard The Man with.

Answer: a policeman

The policeman looks inquiringly at The Man, who points to the frog. The frog simply 'ribbits' in his slow lazy way. The policeman hauls them off.
At this point The Man seems to be aware of his fate, simply ignoring the constant singing of the frog while the look on his face is totally expressionless.

Answer: Psychopathic hospital

Chuck Jones was the best at facial expressions. The look on The Man's face while behind bars (as the frog rages beside him) is priceless.

Answer: a building dedication

The Tregoweth Brown building is being dedicated (Tregoweth Brown provided the sound effects for "Looney Tunes"). The Man sneaks into their company workshop and dumps the frog into the cornerstone encasement, thereby ridding himself of the frog and making it clear that somebody else long before him had the same problems as he did.

Answer: 2056

If you're still around in 2056, 100 years after the cartoon was released, and you see a destitute man with a metal box and a frog, give him a few bucks. He's had a rough time and it may only get worse.
